Cautionary StatementsNew Century Resources believes that the production target, forecast financial information derived from that target and other forward looking statements included in this presentation are based onreasonable grounds. However, neither the Company nor any other person, including Sedgman Pty Ltd makes or gives any representation, assurance or guarantee that the production target orexpected outcomes reflected in this announcement in relation to the production target will ultimately be achieved.

Investors should note that the Company believes the commodity prices, AUD:USD exchange rate and other variables that have been assumed to estimate the potential revenues, cash flows andother financial information are based on reasonable grounds as at the date of this presentation. However, actual commodity prices, exchange rates and other variables may differ materially over thecontemplated mine life and, accordingly, the potential revenue, cash flow figures and other financial information provided in discussions set out in this announcement should be considered as anestimate only that may differ materially from actual results. Accordingly, the Company cautions investors from relying on the forecast information in this announcement and investors should not makeany investment decisions based solely on the results.

A number of key steps need to be completed in order to bring the Century Zinc Mine into production. Many of those steps are referred to in this presentation and previously released RestartFeasibility Study announcement. Investors should note that if there are any delays associated with completing those steps, or completion of the steps does not yield the expected results, therevenue and cash flow figures may differ materially from actual results.

To achieve the range of outcomes indicated in this presentation, additional funding in the order of A$63 million will likely be required to achieve full production above the initial A$50 million capitaloutlay to bring the project into initial production. While the Company has significant cash reserves and anticipated cashflows from operations, investors should note there is no certainty that theCompany will be able to raise any additional funding if needed. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive to or otherwise affect the value of theCompany’s existing shares.

Certain statements contained in this presentation constitute forward looking statements. Forward looking information often relate to statements concerning New Century Resources’ future outlookand anticipated events or results and, in some cases can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “projects”,“predict”, “potential”, “continue” or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Statements of historical fact are not considered forward looking information.

Forward looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including, but not limited in any manner to, those disclosed in results; the ability to explore; communicationswith local stakeholders and community and government relations; status of negotiations of joint ventures; weather conditions; Ore Reserves; Mineral Resources; the development approach andschedule; the receipt of required approvals, titles, licenses and permits; sufficient working capital to develop and operate the mines and implement development plans; access to adequate servicesand supplies; foreign currency exchange rates; access to capital markets; availability of qualified work force; ability to negotiate, finalise and execute relevant agreements; lack of social opposition tomines or facilities; lack of legal challenges with respect to the property; the timing and amount of future production and ability to meet production, operating and capital cost expenditure targets;timing and ability to produce studies and analysis; execution of the credit facility; ability to draw under the credit facility and satisfy conditions precedent including execution of security andconstruction documents; economic conditions; availability of sufficient funding; the ultimate ability to mine, process and sell the mineral products produced; the timing, exploration, development,operational, financial, budgetary, economic, legal, social and political factors that may influence future events or operating conditions. Forward looking statement are only predictions based on NewCentury Resources’ current expectations and projections of future events. Actual results may vary from such forward looking information for a variety of reasons.

Forecast financial information provided in this presentation is based on the Restart Feasibility Study. The Company is of the view it has reasonable grounds for providing the forward lookingstatements included in this presentation. However, the Company cautions that there is no certainty that the forecast financial information derived from the production targets will be realised. TheCompany confirms that all material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information contained in the Company’s ASX Announcements on 28 November 2017 and 15January 2018 continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Other than required by law, New Century Resources assumes no obligation to update any forward looking information to reflect, among other things, new information or future events.

Competent Person Statement & ZnEq Calculation

ZnEq was calculated for each block of the Century Tailings Deposit from the estimated block grades. The ZnEq calculation takes into account, recoveries, payability (including transport and refining charges) and metal prices in generating a zinc equivalent value for each block grade for Ag and Zn. ZnEq = Zn%+ + Ag troy oz/t*0.002573. Metal prices used in the calculation are: Zn US$3,000/t, and Ag US$17.50/troy oz.
